Vehicle description

This is a magnificent beast! It drives like it did when new, striking a perfect balance between luxury and tight feedback on the road. Put the top down and drive up a canyon road while the leaves are turning, and it"s paradise on four wheels.

Carfax report : Link to PDF of CarFax report . Note : One accident is listed in the Carfax report: a person backed into me in a parking lot and broke two horizontal slats in the grill. There was no other damage. The grill was replaced with a genuine Mercedes part purchased through Mercedes Benz of Westminster, CO and installed by Import Coachworks of Boulder CO. This is listed as an accident because we went through the person"s insurance (because the cost of a genuine Mercedes part was greater than either of our deductibles).
